Chapter 273: The Darkness Under the Cross (2)

Maintain his secret, but he can't even expose his figure in front of everyone, so this secret may be displayed in this person's appearance. As long as everyone sees the people in the house, they will penetrate the secrets that he and Pastor Lo have been guarding so hard.

"Could it be a flaw in the appearance?" Jiang Jun asked.

"Possibly." I replied.

Jiang Jun threw the cigarette butt aside: "But even if there is a flaw in appearance, it will not lock yourself in a cabin for so many years, and you have to travel at night when you go out!" Jiang Jun had just made a guess, but in the blink of an eye, he overturned his speculation.

The heavy rain drenched the cigarette butts discarded by Jiang Jun, and the light spots were quickly extinguished.

"Don't forget, this is the church." I reminded.

Jiang Jun suddenly realized: "Religious people are sometimes a little more extreme. ”

Pastor Lowe is a pastor, and he himself is deeply influenced by religious culture, and what can make him do such a thing may also have something to do with religion. A person's secret is reflected in his appearance, and it is indeed possible that this person's appearance is flawed, as Jiang Jun speculated.

But it is true that outward defects do not lead to the act of locking a man in a log cabin for years, unless such defects have something to do with religion. Pastor Lowe is kind, and it can be known from the congregation and Pastor Lo's neighbors that unless Pastor Lowe's kindness is faked, he will not do such an inhumane thing.

But a person's pretended kindness can be disguised for a year or two years, but it is very difficult to disguise it for one or two decades, not to mention that it is disguised while doing things that have lost his conscience. Moreover, Pastor Lowe does such things as if it is not for wealth or fame.

Therefore, I prefer to believe that Pastor Law's attitude towards other people's kindness is sincere, so the kind of thing he did that seems inhumane in the eyes of others may be just and reasonable under the values in his heart, and even if he conceals it, it is not for himself.

As a veteran religious person, Pastor Lowe's values come from religion and from the Bible. That's why I deduced that the secret that Pastor Lo wanted to maintain had something to do with religion. Religion is a miraculous thing that can make a person who has lost his support regain his faith, but it can also make a person fall into it and cannot extricate himself.

Religion has its benefits, but it also has its dark side. Every day, there are conflicts between religions, between religious and non-religious people, and even more, religious killings often occur. The motive of religious murder is sometimes unbelievable and incomprehensible to normal people, but it is very necessary in the eyes of religious people.

Of the whole components of the crime, the motive for killing is the one that needs the least explanation, and there is no such thing as far-fetched or not-put-not. How many criminal suspects and criminals, killing people don't need a reason, or perhaps, just because the other party glared at them.

In the process of talking with Jiang Jun, I told Jiang Jun a lot, the rain was still falling, and there was no intention of stopping. Late at night, I called Shen Cheng again, but the result was the same, Shen Cheng did not answer the phone. He had been missing for a whole day, and as a deputy captain of the detachment, he could not leave his post for no reason.

Therefore, Shen Cheng's departure, I am afraid there is a very important matter.

"Still can't get through?" Jiang Jun lit the third cigarette he smoked.

I shook my head: "I still can't get through, I hope he can come back soon, there are some things, only he can call the shots." ”

Jiang Jun: "This time, it looks like Shen Cheng is going to lose." ”

Me: "Not necessarily, before seeing the scene identification report of Pastor Luo's death in the hotel, Shen Cheng and I were guided by the clues and illusions created by the murderer. Although he was guided, Shen Cheng's local reasoning about the murderer's crime process was faster and more correct than me. ”

I explained to Jiang Jun that although Shen Cheng and I were in the wrong direction, some local reasoning was still correct, such as Shen Cheng determined that the murderer used banknotes to lure Luo Danan to the designated location based on the posture of the deceased at the time of death, and I deduced that the murderer used light to detonate the gas canister.

In the process of reasoning, Shen Cheng did not lose to me at all, because our general direction was wrong, so we can only be regarded as equal. If I hadn't seen this report first, my progress would not have been faster than Shen Cheng's, and I firmly believe that if Shen Cheng and I had seen this report at the same time, his reasoning speed would not have been slower than mine.

"Anyway, I don't like this arrogant boy the most, but he is one of the strongest people I've ever met." Jiang Jun also affirmed Shen Cheng.

"I hope to cooperate with Shen Cheng, with his help, it will be smoother to solve the case." I said to Jiang Jun.

Jiang Jun nodded: "However, the person in the house is not in the house now, where do you say he went?" ”

The conversation returned to the case, this time the small wooden door could be pushed open, and the occupants did not lock the door to the outside. In other words, the people inside have already left the cabin, and the cabin has not been cordoned off, indicating that he is not afraid that others will find out that there were people living in it, because he may not be ready to continue living in the church.

The murderer's psychology can be speculated that he used his superior intelligence to commit crimes, and perhaps he has convinced that the police are caught up in the clues he arranged, so he decided that the police will not return to the church to investigate. And his departure from the church can be explained, his purpose of killing has succeeded, and no one wants to stay in such a small space.

"It's quite contradictory in some places, if he doesn't want to stay in that cabin, he has a lot of opportunities to leave, why do he have to kill Pastor Luo?" Jiang Jun asked rhetorically.

I explained, "Have you forgotten, I speculated that the man was periodically mentally ill, maybe the person in the house didn't want to leave the cabin when he was in his right mind because he wanted to keep it secret, and when he was not normal, he wanted to leave the cabin because he had lost his mind. ”

Jiang Jun continued my words and said, "You mean that the abnormal mental state has taken over that person's brain? Jiang Jun suddenly became a little nervous: "In that case, isn't it possible that he will be found not guilty when the trial is held?" ”

In Zhou Xiaoruo's case, the offender almost did not have to be sentenced due to the age of criminal responsibility, which seriously challenged Jiang Jun's concept of justice, so he was particularly concerned about this situation.

Me: "This is also my speculation, as you said, there are many contradictions. It is unlikely that a person who is mentally abnormal will use the advanced methods of physical mechanics and physical optics to kill people, and from this point of view, the murderer does not seem to be in a state of mental control. ”

Jiang Jun: "Let's catch someone first." Jiang Jun sighed: "Professor Li, you say, where did he go?" ”

In Jiang Jun's opinion, no one knew who was staying in the cabin, and the murderer did not leave any fingerprints and other traces at the crime scene, so it was very difficult to find the murderer when the murderer fled.

When I left the cabin, I told the staff not to touch the contents of the room, and I was going to have someone from the police come and collect evidence the next day. Just in case, I also tore off the futon on the bed and brought it out, and the greasy sheets definitely had the DNA of the occupants on them.

Despite this, DNA is difficult to use in the absence of suspicion that the target can be excluded and determined.

"He shouldn't run far." I make direct inferences.

It was only a few days after the murder happened, and the murderer should have left the cabin when Pastor Luo was out of the city, and the man had kept the secret for so many years, and it was impossible for him to stop guarding it all at once, so he should still be able to act only at night. He wants to see people, so he doesn't take transportation, so he has a better chance of walking.

In such a situation, the man will not go far.

"Chongqing City is so big, without Shen Cheng's order, it is impossible for the police to dispatch a large number of police forces to search in Chongqing City." Jiang Jun frowned.
